Original WWII German MP40 Relic Submachine Gun

Original German MP40 submachine gun relic, recovered from the ground. This is an untouched battlefield find displaying heavy corrosion and clear evidence of prolonged burial, making it an authentic relic rather than a restored example.

The receiver and barrel assembly remain together, with portions of the original folding stock, trigger guard, and bakelite handguard still present. The magazine housing is heavily corroded and incomplete, while most internal components are no longer functional due to extensive oxidation.

This piece is offered strictly as a historical relic and display item, preserving its genuine "as found" condition.

Condition:

• Original WWII German MP40 relic
• Battlefield excavated ("ground dug") condition
• Heavy corrosion and pitting throughout
• Receiver, barrel, and partial stock assembly remain
• Original bakelite handguard survives with age-related damage
• Untouched, unrestored condition
• Ideal for display, restoration reference, or relic collection

A genuine WWII battlefield relic, perfect for collectors of excavated German militaria, museum displays, or historical research collections.
